Army engages with civilians in LoC areas

In a continued effort to build trust and provide solace to communities affected by cross-border shelling, the Army, under Operation ‘Milap’, conducted an interaction with civilians residing in forward areas near the Line of Control (LoC).

“The interaction aimed to address the concerns of residents impacted by frequent shelling and to reinforce the Army’s unwavering commitment to their safety and well-being. Senior Indian Army officers engaged with villagers, listened to their grievances and assured them of continued support and assistance,” an official spokesperson of the Army said.

He said that as a gesture of solidarity and respect for local culture and faith, the Army also visited an under-construction Gurdwara that had sustained damage due to recent shelling. “The visit was a poignant reminder of the resilience of the local populace and the Army’s efforts to stand with them not just in conflict, but also in preserving their heritage and places of worship,” the official said.

He said that Operation Milap is not just a mission but a bridge of peace, trust and unity.
